Pink and Barbara

Vacation time!

I can't wait until tomorrow .... we are going on vacation to our Cottage!

I have prepared more then 40 baskets blocks and I am going to continue on my Laminaria...

I am so looking forward to it...so see you in a few weeks again!

Baskets....

My baskets are waiting in this nice pile for me to add more baskets. At the moment I am making a new quilt for a Pink and Barbara pattern that will also be a new class this Autumn. This is also applique so the baskets just need to wait a bit. The plan is to finish the top of the new quilt before I go on Holiday and then I can take my baskets with me...can't wait ...I miss them...

Enjoy!

If you still want to join the ring you are more then welcome. You can find more information under the Join the Trick and Treat basket ring section. We would love to have you!

P.s I am getting a lot of emails from people asking me if I can just copy and email them the pattern. This is against copy-wright laws so I can't. But the book is just lovely and I think you will just love the other patterns as well so please buy the book. You can buy the book at quilt it and Dotty Or visit you local quilt shop!

Baskets....

Here are blocks 17,18,19,20 and 21... 

It has been busy here the last week. I have 3 new bag patterns that will be coming out soon. The classes all booked for the fall. There is a new website coming and some new packaging for the Pink and Barbara Patterns. So loads of new things coming soon...

Baskets weekend ...

Hi!

This weekend I transformed this old basket into a sewing basket for my baskets..isn't it cute?

It has room for everything on the inside...perfect!

I have also been working on my baskets and I have 16 of them now.

Block 13

Block 14

block 15

block 16

I actually have 17 blocks now but one got rejected. It was to messy and to little contrast. But how knows...it might end up in the quilt later anyway.

This is the quilt now pinned up on my designwall

Baskets...baskets...baskets....

Some of you have already seen my new quilt I am working on. I was working on it in the booth at Velthoven in between the waves of customers. I am so addicted! I am making the baskets in my scraps, so they will probably be pink and blue..*s*

The baskets are from the book When the cold wind blows by Blackbird Designs. I have seen a lot of other people who are making them as well. I have started a webring you can join if you are making the baskets as well. Here you can read about it.

I will try to make a block every other day. I don't know how big I am making the quilt I think until I fall out of love with it...which will take a while...

Maybe you will join me in making these and the ring as well!
